5nothincanucksohno Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 1 minute ago, Provost said: Cole actually played a lot of minutes on the top right pairing, so I would imagine he is the Hughes partner now. The good thing about any partner for Hughes is he makes it easier for them and they will play more limited minutes as they won’t be on the PP with him. Nice, sounds like a good stop gap partner for Hughes, who can really shelter partners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckMe Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Good. Cole plays left or right side about the same. Soucy can anchor the second pairing ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA has managed to completely re-jig our defence, add to the defensive depth pool. And give us a very different look on the back end. I'm just not sure if I can handle this. Me either haha. It's amazing and refreshing to see competency in the FO, and changes being made when needed, and being done in the proper way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love what we did to add to our core, what I really want to see is how we do under pressure when the season starts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) I am going to say, watching TSN… they are just crap with their coverage this year. They hadn’t even mentioned any Canucks signings. Friedman is breaking all the signings. Edited July 1, 2023 by Provost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR/PA have done more in less than 2 years than JB did in what 8? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 6'5" Viking Alberta No minus years outside of his first short stint in the NHL This lineup needed more sandpaper and grit, PA addressed some of that today. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Has the Soucy-Hronek experiment had officially begun in Van? (Coach has options and we’re likely not done…) caveats aside, while it’s not the high end top pair I was hoping for, but it’s a big league top 4 pair from the looks of it. It’s enough to have me hopeful anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell has really run that network into the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVasili Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 So I wonder how much more it will take for the naysayers to accept that we finally have a competent front office. This team is turning a corner here without hobbling the future. Excited again to be a Canucks fan. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 9 minutes ago, coolboarder said: Myer will be moved once bonuses are paid for on Sept 15 and teams that struck out in UFA market for a D probably will kicking tires and I think he has 10 team no trade list that has to be submitted on July 1st so GMPA will have a good idea of who is needing a D can make a trade deal. With 1.5 million of cap space left, they can make a pitch for 3rd line center at this price. He is all but more likely be moved for something in return. Bonuses are paid July 1st, not the start of the season/camp. But not upset at any of these moves. Neither Soucy or Cole are top end but signed to reasonable deals and can slide in on either side. Short term help until we get better through prospects and other deals. And some size, so as long a they don't turn into really large pylons, I'm good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather watch live streamers like hockey guy who's less biased even though he's a Canuck fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purposefully avoided commenting on the previous regime, what with the delicate sensibilities and soft spots that many carry for JB, but I agree, it's mind blowing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, it's good we added some size on defence. He can PK too. Between him and Hughes we got the left side covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
